Sheepgate U25’s: day two

It was a day of doubles yesterday at the British Dressage Sheepgate Under 25’s Championships as Georgina Swinglehurst, Lucy Pincus, Maisie Scruton and Jessica Knapton all won classes two days on the trot.

Georgina came up trumps after winning the KIBIS Inter I class with Carol Parson’s 17 year old mare Giddy when just the day before, the pair had clinched first place in the Prix St Georges class.

Tuesday saw them take the top spot in the Inter I on a score of 67.57%, ahead of Olivia Oakeley (Donna Summer) and Emma Jablonski (Cor IV Z) who finished in second and third place respectively.

Herefordshire based Lucy Pincus also had a second win on the trot, this time in the Sheepgate Tack & Togs Team Competition class with her homebred pony gelding Sheepcote Sandmartin. The pair had won the very same class the day before, but this time managed to better their own score by nearly three percent, finishing on 71.52%.

In the FEI youth tests both Maisie Scruton and Jessica Knapton had second wins; Maisie in the Junior Individual with her fiery mare Hot Chocolate and Jessica in the Young Rider Individual on her Dimaggio gelding Di Spirito. The day before both girls had won their respective sections in the FEI youth Team Tests.

The ever popular freestyle to music classes also took place across the FEI youth sections, with Angus Corrie-Deane, Hariette Williams and Eilidh Grant all coming in for a top spot.
